[PATCH v2 2/2] selinux: add basic filtering for audit trace events

From: Thiébaud Weksteen
Date: Thu Aug 13 2020 - 10:49:57 EST


From: Peter Enderborg <peter.enderborg@xxxxxxxx>

This patch adds further attributes to the event. These attributes are
helpful to understand the context of the message and can be used
to filter the events.

There are three common items. Source context, target context and tclass.
There are also items from the outcome of operation performed.

An event is similar to:
<...>-1309 [002] .... 6346.691689: selinux_audited:
requested=0x4000000 denied=0x4000000 audited=0x4000000
result=-13 ssid=315 tsid=61
scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 tclass=file

With systems where many denials are occurring, it is useful to apply a
filter. The filtering is a set of logic that is inserted with
the filter file. Example:
echo "tclass==\"file\" && ssid!=42" > events/avc/selinux_audited/filter

This adds that we only get tclass=file but not for ssid 42.

The trace can also have extra properties. Adding the user stack
can be done with
echo 1 > options/userstacktrace

Now the output will be
runcon-1365 [003] .... 6960.955530: selinux_audited:
requested=0x4000000 denied=0x4000000 audited=0x4000000
result=-13 ssid=315 tsid=61
scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 tclass=file
runcon-1365 [003] .... 6960.955560: <user stack trace>
=> <00007f325b4ce45b>
=> <00005607093efa57>

Note that the ssid is the internal numeric representation of scontext
and tsid is numeric for tcontext. They are useful for filtering.
